Retired Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski has expressed the opinion that a foreign strike on U.S. soil could potentially trigger domestic regime change — the same outcome the U.S. has long pursued in other countries.
"What did the U.S. do when 9-11 happened? Wars that killed tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people. What do you think the U.S. would do right now if a country came in, killed Trump and bombed a school? That country would be wiped out. We wouldn't play little military float your boat over there and try to blockade something. We wouldn't do that. No, I think our government is really irrational in so many ways, and so we would probably nuke them. We would turn them into a parking lot, and guess what? Probably if something like that happened, 70 percent of the population would cheer it. Maybe not 70. Maybe 20 years ago, 70. Now, maybe at least 60 percent, maybe 55 would cheer it. There are a lot of people in America who understand there's a big difference between what Washington says wars are about and what they're really about. I mean, we have multiple generations of folks, Vietnam generation, the first Iraq war generation, second Iraq war, Afghanistan generation, and now our younger people who know everything there is to know about the genocide in Gaza, and yet are powerless to do anything about it. So you've got all these waves of people who understand that our government lies, and they lie particularly about war, and it's usually because they're profiting from it. So it is possible that if something like that happened, Americans would take that opportunity, which is what we want them to do with regime change, right? We go hit somebody. We knock off their leader. We put them in a war. We say, oh, you're going to rise up and throw your government out. Well, wouldn't that be interesting if somebody hit us, and yet we're going to fight back, and then also we did a regime change at home. Those techniques of regime change usually don't work, but the psychology of regime change, we aren't immune from that in this country. We are not immune to it at all. I mean, honestly, I can't think of a single country, regardless of what they did to us, that would cause young Americans to rush down to the recruiting offices and sign up to join the military. I don't see it, and we saw that after 9-11, but at the time of 9-11, sure, we had cell phones. We had the internet, but we hadn't had it for very long."
